Iranian-born designer Ali Behnam-Bakhtiar does it all ? interiors, architectural design, weddings. Whether large-scale events or private homes, a converted airplane or a château, he runs the gamut from extravagant to minimal with equal flair and imagination, bringing his clients? stories to life. Torri Mundell reports
Architectural designer Ali Behnam-Bakhtiar is a man on the move. Since 2003, his striking design projects have made their mark on coastlines, private islands, mountainsides and city streets in Europe, Asia and the Gulf, while his events company operates from Dubai, London, Paris and Monaco. The spaces he conceives, from the cargo plane he transformed into an airborne apartment to a spectacular eco-friendly château in Provence and a refurbished 150-metre yacht extended with landscaped green spaces, are equally dynamic. ?I think of spaces and events like personal books,? he says. ?They are stories that we experience through an introduction, a body and a grande finale.?

Though Behnam-Bakhtiar claims not to have a signature style, the emphasis on experiencing a space ? rather than simply passing through it ? is an essential part of his aesthetic. ?To create this kind of extra dimension, I am very detail orientated. I study the space carefully, I envision the memories that can be created and I focus on the senses that can be discovered.?
